In September, SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital in Madison, Wis., became the first hospital in the nation to use a new nitric oxide delivery system. The new INOmax EVOLVE DS system was developed using input from respiratory therapists and can be used in tandem with mechanical ventilation for critically ill infant and adult patients. “For us, the way it works and functions makes our lives easier,” said Tammy Kundinger, manager, Respiratory Care Services. “With the advanced technology on the device, it has really improved our workflow and patient delivery.” Following the successful implementation in Madison, SSM Health is now expanding the use of the system to other facilities, including SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital . https://lnkd.in/gmxaX-74
